Ethereum in 2025: Scalability, Privacy, and Ethereum's New Role

Ethereum is undergoing tremendous evolution, with a focus in 2025 on increasing network productivity, enhancing privacy, and solidifying Ethereum's position as a fundamental asset of the ecosystem.

According to Vitalik Buterin, the network is betting on developing layer two solutions and implementing object scaling technology. These technologies already provide an increase in productivity by more than 17 times and a significant reduction in fees.

In April, Buterin also presented a roadmap for improving privacy in Ethereum. The solutions include integrating tools like Railgun and Privacy Pools into wallets and standards that enhance transaction security.

The upcoming Pectra update will introduce important changes: EIP-7251 will increase the staking limit to 2048 Ethereum per validator, and EIP-7702 will allow the use of addresses with smart contract logic. Ethereum is not only looking to scale but also seeks to enhance its role as a core currency for the entire ecosystem, including layer two networks.
